Polish metric spaces with fixed distance set

Logic 2020-06-30 v2

Abstract

We study Polish spaces for which a set of possible distances AR+A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^+ is fixed in advance. We determine, depending on the properties of AA, the complexity of the collection of all Polish metric spaces with distances in AA, obtaining also example of sets in some Wadge classes where not many natural examples are known. Moreover we describe the properties that AA must have in order that all Polish spaces with distances in that set belong to a given class, such as zero-dimensional, locally compact, etc. These results lead us to give a fairly complete description of the complexity, with respect to Borel reducibility and again depending on the properties of AA, of the relations of isometry and isometric embeddability between these Polish spaces.
